Title: The ruling on shias
Post by: Furkan on November 20, 2015, 11:15:17 PM

I found the following great article: http://www.chiite.fr/en/islam_02.html

It basically quotes many fatawa of various scholars from past and present and also explains them thoroughly.

But I keep asking myself the following:

How are shias treated by an caliphate/emirate? What are the examples from the past like when the ottomans were at power?

The Ottomans had to suppress a Shi'i uprising in Eastern Anotalia, inspired and funded by the Safavid Persians.

Generally, though, there weren't that many Rafidis inside Ottoman borders - until the Safavid Persians conquered Iraq and converted alot of the people there.

The Ottomans were generally tolerant though, and Iraq was fairly autonomous for most of its rule.

This is a good thread about the Sunni stance towards the Rawafiz. http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/showthread.php?54580-Sunni-view-on-Shiah-Rawafid-Twelvers

The real question I wanted to ask is, what should be done with murtads? As far as I know, they shouldn't be killed as long as they don't cause anarchy within a country and rebel against the religion of Islam.

In case of extreme shias back then, was jizya an option?
